The bigest drawback is that it is impossible to sign it by players 😂

[Mangotshepang]

hot take. It's implied that you use this on the way to the kitchen at 3AM.

[bencarignan]

It's called drag coefficient and I'm a little shocked that no one saw this coming. It's a ball, covered completely in holes. It's trajectory will be affected.

[xxdullah]

Every video I’ve seen of someone shooting with the airless ball has air balled their first shot

[ThisIsMyFullName]

One of the main things for me is the sound. I don't think I can do without the sound of a normal basketball bouncing on the ground, it's as important as the feel to me.

my smoll brain in 2000: humanity will be living on Saturn by the end of 2020
reality in 2024: airless basketball
😂😂😂😂😂

This definitely makes sense as a collector's item. High price, low volume, selling to people who want to have a small piece of history so to speak. Wilson probably doesn't need to sell very many of these in the grand scheme to make enough money to recoup development costs so they can continue to comfortably develop gen 2 and so on. Future generations will likely get cheaper as the production process gets more refined and the product gets closer to being usable as a drop-in replacement for an air-filled basketball.

I don't get how this guy is still so popular all his vids are 5 mins of ads before he even talks about the product we are here to see him review.

[muditahlawat]

the editing with the texts in this video is chef's kiss

[stuartwood]

I'd say that the speed holes are interfering with the magnus effect. Preventing it flying as well as a backspinning basketball, golf ball or table tennis ball.

[bomaaningenime]

Your skill on the court is impressive 👌🏾

[EliasVodka]

Damn this guys is pretty athletic haha all your videos are just you sitting on a chair so I never imagined you being this fit, good job

[Mark_Williams.]

At first I thought momentum would be the reason why he kept shooting short due to less weight, but apparently the Airless is very close in weight to the regular. So yeah, while he said air resistance, I'd say he's close to the answer, it'd be turbulance that's causing a lot more drag on the ball flying through the air. All those holes will be creating some mad random turbulance patterns.

The vivobarefoot choice of shoes is the most impressive part of this video. I love it

[TeamHurycne]

@EngineeringExplained needs to take a look at this. The effect of air around the ball instead of through it. Id watch that for sure.

[RealLuvKraft]

I agree with you. If they were able to have some sort of leather/faux leather mesh covering the ball, that would definitely help with the air resistance and grip. Hopefully they’re already working on implementing something like that because if they’ve already tried and can’t get that to work then this just stays a collector’s item. It would be so cool to have airless balls that are functionally identical to regular balls

[BennyBluprint]

Ok, long time subscriber...the thing that caught my eye the most is that Lew missed the 1st 2 shots and that competitive beast inside started sturing. Then he saw the 1st one go down and was like "nah thats not enough, I need another one!"

[kuyache]

With that analysis, it really belongs to a glass case only to be adored by friends and visitors. Not in the court! Keep inventing stuff Wilson, maybe someday you can make something court worthy ^_^

[DeviceBAR]

Damn, exact time at Assassin's Creed Shadows trailer.

[mcash]

It is definitely a multi use object, if your dog is bored you can put a treat in the ball and keep your dog entertained or you can put it in the washing machine to have the soap better distributed, not to mention the fact that you could clean amazingly your salad there, it could be difficult to cut the salad in a very small pieces to put them inside but hey, you can't have everything in life ... right?
